'52 Clone Tele® Pickup

The first Telecasters (known for a time as Broadcasters, and then as Nocasters until settling on their current name) were produced from 1950 to 1954 with black pickguards, and this series of instruments has lovingly become known as the Blackguard era of Tele production. These guitars were the beginning of that classic Tele tone that we love, and the genesis for everything that has come after, and now you can have that sound too!

All original manufacturing methods are the same with hand-wound coils, and wax potted coils. RWRP when combined for hum-cancelling in the middle position. 

We voiced these around the best examples we encountered from the blackguard era. The neck pickup is so clear and soft with lots of articulation. The bridge pickup has just the right amount of mids with clear wide open twang and snap. These pickups really let you dial your amp in for the best possible tone.  

All of our pickups are proudly built in Burgaw, NC!

Reviews

on my MJT built

"I love pairing it with a René Martinez Strat neck pickup for a more bluesy tone. When I switch to the ’52 Clone Tele pickup alone, it delivers a screaming voice that leans more toward rock."

— SzeChai B. (5/5)

Much Clearer Than Stock Neck Pickup

"I collect Japanese guitars and while the build quality is fantastic, some brands leave a lot to be desired in the quality of their stock pickups. I reached out to Keith at Mojotone about what neck pickup would give me more clarity than the stock one. He suggested the 52 Clone due to the weaker magnet and it sounds fantastic. Still warm but I definitely get more note definition. Paired with a Mojotone Broadcaster bridge pickup and they balance out great."
